# Getting Started with Next.js 14

$ cat getting-started-with-nextjs-14.md

Next.js 14 brings exciting new features to the React ecosystem. In this post, we'll explore the App Router, Server Components, and more.

The App Router is a new way to build applications in Next.js. It uses React Server Components by default, which means your components render on the server unless you explicitly mark them as client components.

Server Components offer several benefits:

  • Reduced JavaScript bundle size
  • Direct access to backend resources
  • Improved initial page load

To get started, simply create a new Next.js project and start building in the app directory. Each folder represents a route segment, and page.tsx files define the UI for that route.

Happy coding!
